Development Environment

Hardware

For development, it is highly recommended to have JTAG/SWD debugger.

For boards with DFU (Device Firmware Upgrade) feature (such as DfuSe), it is possible to develop with that. But it should be considered experimental environment, and it should not be used for usual purpose. That’s because it is basically impossible for DfuSe implementations to disable reading-out from flash ROM. It means that your secrets will be readily extracted by DfuSe.

For JTAG debugger, Olimex JTAG-Tiny is good and supported well. For SWD debugger, ST-Link/V2 would be good, and it is supported by tool/stlinkv2.py.

OpenOCD

For JTAG/SWD debugger, we can use OpenOCD.

GNU Toolchain

You need GNU toolchain and newlib for ‘arm-none-eabi’ target. In Debian, we can just apt-get packages of: gcc-arm-none-eabi, binutils-arm-none-eabi, gdb-arm-none-eabi and libnewlib-arm-none-eabi.

We are using “-O3 -Os” for compiler option.

Building Gnuk

Change directory to src:

$ cd gnuk-VERSION/src

Then, run configure:

$ ./configure --vidpid=<VID:PID>

Here, you need to specify USB vendor ID and product ID. For FSIJ’s, it’s: –vidpid=234b:0000 . Please read the section ‘USB vendor ID and product ID’ in README.

Type:

$ make

Then, we will have “gnuk.elf” under src/build directory.

If you are not the authorized vendor, please never distribute this file of “gnuk.elf”, which includes VID:PID in the image. If you would like to distribute the image (for example, to check if it’s reproducible or not), the file “gnuk-no-vidpid.elf” is the one with no VID:PID.
